The Storebro Solo 25 is a characteristic wooden sloop from 1963, built by the renowned Swedish shipyard Storebro Bruks AB. This shipyard is known for its craftsmanship and timeless designs. With a length of 7.25 meters and a width of 2.25 meters, this boat offers a charming combination of classic lines and modern technology. The Solo 25 is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of authentic vessels who value tranquility, style, and sustainability on the water.
What makes this Storebro Solo 25 special is the combination of a traditional wooden hull with modern electric propulsion. The built-in Econautic electric motor of 8.5 kW (approximately 12 hp) has not been used before and offers a quiet and emission-free sailing experience. Thanks to the electric propulsion, this sloop is extremely suitable for use on inland waters, such as canals, lakes, and calm rivers. The cruising speed is around 6 km/h, with a top speed of about 11 km/h, ensuring relaxed trips where you can fully enjoy the surroundings.
The electrical installation is equipped with four batteries with a voltage of 48V, supported by a battery charger, voltmeter, and shore power connection. This makes charging simple and efficient, both at home and in the marina.
The wooden construction of this Storebro Solo 25 contributes to the classic appearance that immediately catches the eye. The teak deck enhances the nautical character and offers a warm, natural finish. The boat is equipped with a single rudder and is steered via a wheel on the aft deck, providing direct and intuitive control. The sailing characteristics are focused on comfort and stability, ideal for peaceful trips with family or friends.
Although the woodwork is dry and some shrinkage cracks are visible, the boat remains a striking appearance when launched. We advise interested parties to carefully inspect the woodwork and consider the necessary maintenance, as the wood is very dry. There is, for instance, a shrinkage crack on the port side forward. The restoration carried out around 2008 has preserved the original character while allowing for modern adaptations, such as the electric motor. Since the restoration, the boat has not been sailed, meaning it is dry and the wood will need to expand when launched.
The sale includes a road trailer with a license plate, which significantly facilitates the transport and storage of the boat. The trailer is in functional condition and allows the boat to be easily moved to different sailing areas or winter storage.
The Storebro Solo 25 is a rare specimen that combines the charm of traditional craftsmanship with the benefits of modern technology. This sloop is ideally suited for those looking for a stylish and quiet way of sailing, with attention to detail and history. Whether you want to sail through the canals of a historic city or enjoy a peaceful day on the lakes, this boat offers a unique sailing experience.
With its elegant lines, electric propulsion, and classic appearance, the Storebro Solo 25 is a valuable addition to any fleet. A boat that not only sails but also tells stories. Please note the woodwork, which, despite a restoration in 2018, requires attention.
